This just may be the most amazing of the Tsunami videos although the one shot from inside a car floating around like a boat sticks in my mind also. It starts out slow and at first i thought the video was of the aftermath but what happens a couple minutes in is surreal.

    Always amazed by how much power a wall of water has.

    You think, oh, yeah, l could walk through some of that without any issue, but when you see a steel bridge get knocked over, then you think twice!

    Might be a good video for school children, make them think trice before walking through fast flowing water!

    Wow, I don't know what amazes me more. I thought it would have been like 4 times as fast. It took 4 minutes to get to where I thought would have taken about 1. ALSO, they KNEW they had the earthquake. They are at the ocean and have a NAME for this, so they KNOW how oceans are, and how they react to earthquakes.

    You would think that they would have moved away after the earthquake, and made a POINT of looking at the water level. If it were significantly lower than normal, you would think they would SCRAM!!!!!!! Water tries to maintain its level and if the level is too low there, you KNOW it will overcompensate and likely cause damage.

    But yeah, I heard that, after the earthquake, all that water was GONE! Of course, once it is easier to go back than forward, the water will come back.
